Photo: FoNetWe no longer have an intelligence-security system, and Aleksandar Vučić has no control either in politics or in the security sector, according to security expert Saša Janković, while the leader of the SRCE party Zdravko Ponoš assesses that a "security and institutional vacuum" has arisen for Serbs in Kosovo.
Zdravko Ponoš explained in the Kvaka 23 series of the FoNet news agency that because of this vacuum, the need for self-organization grew among people.
"It was probably a little politically stimulated through the emissaries of this regime, who are 'from the gray zone', from an evil father and an evil mother," says Ponoš. According to him, the conflict in Banjska was poorly organized in terms of intelligence, while in diplomatic and political terms it was a fiasco.
As he says, President Vučić was taken aback, not by the fact that there is an armed group of Serbs, but by the fact that it all went so badly. "He didn't know what to do that day, and considering everything he did up until that day, it's better that he didn't do anything that day," said Ponoš.
He points out that at that moment, Belgrade was in a much better position diplomatically than Pristina in the negotiations, but this brought things back "far back".
They no longer trust Vučić
"It is unlikely that this regime will be in a position to be a credible negotiator and to negotiate something good for Serbia and for the Serbs in Kosovo," Ponoš said in a conversation with Tamara Skrozza.
He thinks that Vučić is no longer trusted by those who successfully negotiated with him until now, all with the aim of "pushing" Kosovo away from Serbia and Kosovo's entry into NATO.
"Nothing was done properly, and now Vučić will be a man who is even more susceptible to blackmail, because he was caught 'with his pants down,'" said Ponš and assessed that this will speed up the process of implementing what Vučić agreed to.
Dismantled intelligence and security system
On the other hand, Janković thinks that there was no dialogue at all, because there were two sides that someone from the other side is forcing to the table, and they are looking for excuses and ways to escape from that table.
According to his interpretation, "of course there are challenges for Aleksandar Vučić, but that does not mean that he should complain about it to the citizens of Serbia". A system is needed in which there is someone who guides politically, but must not decide on the executive component, emphasizes Janković.
He explains that someone must execute, someone must think about the proclaimed foreign policy, and someone must observe mistakes and draw lessons. Instead, all control components are united in one omniscient and supposedly omnipotent point, Jankovic presented.
And if that is so, then "it's just a question of when we will stumble and in the worst case, when someone from the West, who has always left space and facilitated the emergence of this situation, will tell us - we are thinking of introducing sanctions".
Janković emphasizes that the intelligence-security system was not expertly dismantled, so that it can be reassembled, it was dismantled and must be rebuilt from scratch, and that it is no longer just a question of Kosovo.
"Serbia no longer has time, I have no time, you have no time," Janković said, adding that "these people no longer have time to wait for a better future."
